The Original Inspirational Almanac

Writing
means____.

Affirmations and
Resolutions

“What
I write matters and what I say needs to have it's space. No words
are wrong.”

Tidbits of History

Did
you know yesterday was National Ferris Wheel Day as well as National
Have a Heart Day? I suppose I can dig the bit about the heart, what
with the whole Valentines day fiasco. However, I cannot fathom
riding a Ferris wheel in this frigid weather!

Today
is National Gumdrop Day and Single Awareness Day. If you're single,
why not go to the local grocer and celebrate with some gumdrops? I
typically prefer the old fashioned ones that that are sugary-hard on
the outside, the ones you can still sometimes find in the quarter
machines. And if you're not single? Maybe share your gumdrops with
the one who has your heart!

The Literary Greats
Said

“Snow
flurries began to fall and they swirled around people's legs like
house cats. It was magical, this snow globe world.”

~Sarah
Addison Allen

Journalution For You

Considering
the information covered today, think back to your very first
childhood experience with the Ferris wheel. Where was it? Who were
you with? Did you get butterflies in your belly as the cart swirled
across the top threshold and winded back to the bottom again?

What
about gumdrops and gumdrop machines? Did you rush to the corner
store as a kid just to buy those incredible one-cent gumdrops? How
about the little gumdrop machines? I actually still enjoy getting
toys from those when I go to restaurants. I particularly get a thrill
from knowing that I have no idea which 'prize' I'm going to get when
it drops! How about you?

Write Myself Some
Poetry

Write
about the heart. What things are symbolic of the heart? Pen a poem
about love and relationships, or perhaps a present or past Valentines
day.

I
love the quote I've included about winter. Write about your own
winter. Do you have snow outside your window? What does the
personal snow globe of your world look like? Write about about a
snowstorm, or snow falling beneath the twilight outside your window.
What does it look like, how does it make you feel?

Ride
Ferris wheels more often (given the opportunity arises). Also, to be
brave in the face of things that might scare me, not just rickety
amusement park rides! After all, it is the things that challenge us
that allow us to grow and live more deeply.

Challenge Accepted?

Today
I challenge you to do something that scares you. Or, you can eat gum
drops and express your love to someone. If you're feeling energetic,
why not do both?

Here's
to hoping you have a happy week full of sweets and true hearts and
plenty of creative juices to tease your pallet!
